All VMs are disconnected from ESXi host
I noticed a recent issue on my ESXi host version 5.5.0 3568722
Issue:ESXi host not responding .All the VMs are disconnected from the host
According to VMware this is a bug that cause the ESXi lost vCenter connectivity due to the VPXA going out of memory.
Solution:
1:::The fix for the same bug is included in ESXi 5.5 patch 08 (build 4179633) .But VMware recommend to update the host to latest patch level which is patch 09 (Build 4345813) as patch 08 has some known issue with vMotion.

2:::Temporary solution is to increase the memory for VPXA so that the issue is not repeated till the upgrade plan is implemented.
